As a former soldier and police officer, John has dedicated his life to helping others. John also plays a role in helping young adults aged 12 – 18 yrs choose a path of self-belief and community spirit through work with the Army Cadet Force. As a Director with two businesses dedicated to reducing unemployment and poverty, John loves to be involved in community based projects, where he uses presentation skills to deliver training, coaching and mentoring to those struggling.

John began to take an interest in Humanism after attending a number of weddings and found great satisfaction when he too was married in a Humanist ceremony. He remembers it as a very special and beautiful occasion and he saw first-hand what a difference it makes to have a personalised ceremony for such an important celebration.

John realised he had already developed many of the skills needed and with a willingness to help others pursued his goal to become a celebrant himself. With community values at heart, John chose Fuze because of the foundations it was started from and he wanted to be a part of what it delivers for those in need.

John believes in the Humanist values, and feels couples today are deeply committed to having a ceremony which reflects them as people. He enjoys meeting people, hearing stories of their journey together, and it gives him great pleasure creating a ceremony which is personal to them and which they and their guests will remember long after the event.

John understands that it is an honour and a privilege to be able to help bereaved families and friends plan funerals for their loved ones. He knows that a Humanist ceremony allows deep sensitivity to their wishes and that the tribute does justice to the person and the life that has been.

Many parents today wish to gather their friends and family together to celebrate the naming of their baby. It is a joy to be part of this special welcoming day and John wants to be able to help parents and those chosen as guides and mentors to show their love and gratitude for the gift of having a child.

John looks forward to helping you plan a memorable, unique and personal ceremony that reflects who you are, your passions, your wishes and your journey.

Alan Edwards, Celebrant

Alan’s two passions in life are music and communicating - skills that he has been able to beautifully marry (pardon the pun!) during his 15 year career as a radio presenter.

Alan was inspired to pursue life as a celebrant having spoken as a guest at both humanist wedding and funeral ceremonies to great acclaim from those present. It seemed the natural progression for him to adapt and refine his presentation and writing skills into creating memorable ceremonies that are unique and exclusive to each and every customer.

Alan is a warm-hearted, caring individual who will listen attentively to the needs and requests of each customer and help incorporate them into a ceremony that is perfect for them.

“The personal touch is what really makes a humanist ceremony stand out. Knowing that you’ve made a significant contribution to such an important day in people’s lives is incredibly fulfilling. My promise is to make each ceremony unique and thoroughly memorable – whether that be to share the joy in bringing two lives together in love. Or, to provide a warm and fitting tribute to a life lived to the full.”

Marriage is central to Alan’s life right now as, away from work, as he recently married the love of his life Kerry

He also loves his sport and has spent time during the last decade as a stadium announcer for both football and rugby clubs in Scotland.

Alan is based in Lanarkshire and covers Ayrshire, Edinburgh & Lothian, East Renfrewshire & Renfrewshire, Glasgow City & East/West Dunbartonshire, North & South Lanarkshire and Stirlingshire.

Sean Kelly, Celebrant

Sean is available to conduct Weddings, Civil Partnerships, Vow Renewals, Baby Naming & Funeral Ceremonies.

With a background in Production, Writing, and Directing, in the TV and Film industry, moving to become a Celebrant was a natural step for Sean. Creativity and meticulous organisation go hand in hand for him, and a wealth of experience in public speaking in front of huge crowds, and intimate events, mean he will bring your ceremony to life in a way that is unique to you, and memorable to your guests.

Sean wanted to use his powers for good and actually make a difference in people’s lives, so made the leap to becoming a celebrant. From trying to get married during Covid he understands the pressures and stresses that anyone organising a life changing event can come under – but Sean believes that the journey to any big event is as important as the ceremony itself, and he will make that journey as easy as possible.

With an array of fabulous outfits and hair that rarely can barely be contained, Sean will bring his unique personality to be a great addition to your day. When Sean isn’t busy working he loves to spend time with his wife and tiny pug, Gomez. Please note that pictures of Gomez are of course available on request.

Sean says “Being a Celebrant allows me to meet people and help tell the stories they want to tell. Celebrations reflect the people having them and it is my mission to quell the mentality that a ceremony is “the boring bit” that people have to sit through to get to the party. It is my privilege to make sure you and your guests have the time of your lives. I will work closely with you to guide and advise on every aspect of your ceremony. No idea is too outlandish or wild, and there are NO stupid questions."
